Heads up on John Smedley. Sea Island Cotton is sheer in lighter colors

Figured I would share my experience as a data point for others who may buy this brand in the future. During last week's sale, I purchased the Sea Island Cotton Polo Shirt in Soft Pink. When it arrived I was very happy with the fit, but was very sad to discover that my nipples were on full display. Obviously I tried it out with undershirts on, but the material is so thin that the outline of the undershirt is comically visible. The cotton feels very nice and cashmere-like. Intentionally or not, all model photos of the sea island cotton shirts are much darker colors, so it's difficult for consumers to know this will be an issue in advance. Really wanted to love this one, but will be returning.
